Overview

XSRadio is a great solution for those who need to quickly build a mobile app to stream radio channels and read music news anywhere you are.

Description

XSRadio is a full-working template (UI + Source Code) to browse and listen to SHOUTcast online radios anywhere, as well as read music news, search for radio stations by name and like them.

The Admin can easily insert radio URLs and News in the database on back4app, it’s kinda working with an Excel file, so it’s pretty easy.
He can also send Push Notifications to all registered users through the Push console.

This app is compatible with the SHOUTcast streaming directory, so it supports only URLs grabbed from .m3u files – downloadable for free at https://directory.shoutcast.com

The design is clean, dark mode, code is commented and project folders and files are well organized in the package.

iOS Swift language – Native Xcode project – Edit the template as you wish with the power of Xcode and Swift.

Modern, clean design – The UI has been carefully crafted to offer the best user experience to your clients.

Online Documentation – Read the extensive guide of this template to be able to configure it properly.

Requirements

The latest official version of Xcode – Beta versions of an IDE usually never work 100% properly, and the code of this app has been written using the latest official version of Xcode and you can download it from the Mac App Store. You must use it and avoid Betas.

An Apple Mac computer, updated to its latest OS version – It’s always good to keep your macOS up to date, technology keeps growing and I follow its changes, as well as updating my templates every time a new OS gets released.

An Apple Developer Account with an active iOS Development Program – This is needed for you to publish apps on the iTunes App Store. You can still edit this template on code without that account, but you won’t be able to run it on your real iOS device since you’ll need a Team ID.

Basic knowledge of Xcode and Swift language – You don’t need to be a skilled or professional developer, anyway it’s recommended to have at least the basic knowledge of what you’re dealing with, in order to be able to customize this template and publish your applications on the App Store.

A free account on back4app.com – You can create and edit your Parse App and database, get the necessary keys for configurations and test this template for free. It has limitations though, so please check the Pricing table and consider subscribing for a paid plan after your app got published on the App Store.

An active AdMob account – Unless you want to remove ads in this app, you need to sign up for an AdMob account to display them.

A real device to test the app before submitting it to the App Store – iOS Simulators may fail during tests, they are not reliable as a real device is, so I strongly recommend you to always run this application on a real phone/tablet. This is also suggested by Apple’s official Guidelines.
